    Hey Padidto5, 
     
    To remove yourself from the shared folder while you’re a member, try doing so from the website:
    1. Sign in to the website.
    2. Click Files.
    3. Navigate to the shared folder you want to permanently remove from your Dropbox account.
    4. Select the Share button that should appear next to the folder when you hover over it.
    5. Find your name under the list of emails. 
    6. Click on the Can view/Can edit that’s next to your name.
    7. Select Remove my access.
    If you’re not seeing this option or you’re still having trouble with this, let me know.

Hey regan_traphagen and hilje, sorry to see you're having trouble with this process.

 

Have you tried removing your access to the folder using these steps on dropbox.com? 

 

I can see you mentioned that you used an iPad, hilje, are you able to do this from a computer?

Hi,

Thx. It worked. A bit different than the advices in the dropbox help pagina you referred to,  probably because of the IPad.

I found the option of deleting the map just and only for myself in “mapinstellingen” ( dutch) an option which was showed after taken the first step in the link you shared.

So thank you. Finally solved!
